the yuckness has taken over.... And a give-away!!

Hi you guys. I am sick as a dog! My love shared his man flu with me, and now I am every bit as sooky as he was!! I shouldn't have made fun of him! Drats! Luckily I looked after him pretty well, so now he is reciprocating. In fact, my sweetheart has just gone to the shops to get me some jelly...

So I thought that I might do something a bit fun, in the form of a 'scrap-tastic' give away!! Yay!!

Its time for me to face facts. I HAVE TOO MANY SCRAPS. So I want to share with you... Not just crappy scraps either... YUMMO scraps! If you are a fabric addict, as I am , then you will probably understand that making the decision to part with even morsels of fabric - was a BIG one! ha ha.

Leave a comment below if you are interested, and I will randomly draw a winner when I get around to it - hopefully tomorrow but I am sick so you just have to go easy on me... People can keep entering until I call the give-away as closed...

You know what else I have noticed is my page-views are nearing 80'000!! Surely that will be cause for celebration soon! If you are a silent reader - please say hello!! I would love to meet you! Please don't be shy!

The lucky winner will receive a pretty bundle of scraps - as many as I can stuff into a prepaid post-bag!!

Ahhhhh I would love love love some vintage scraps! I make fabric wall decals and trust me - I can make anything out of a small scrap of paper! Not to swing any votes ;) but I promise I will send something special back!Can find my decals here... www.facebook.com/feltgood :)Jess x

here another fabric addict speaking: i really love to join your give-away!! yeah!...but i'm not sure i can because 'me is living in a far tiny country'...Then i just come over to say "get well" hopefully the yuckness will dissapear soon!

Oooohhhh now this is a competition I would LOVE to win. My 11 year old daughter has just started sewing and has a love of all things vintage and for Christmas all she has asked for is "Scraps of fabric". I can just imagine her face on Christmas day if she opened these!

Im 14 years of age, I have been studying fashion and sewing for the past 2 years in high school. I would absolutely love to receive some of your materials, and i hope my dresses turn out as beautiful as yours :)Danica.

How awesome you want to share your stash. Yes it is incredibly hard to part with any. I must say I so enjoy your blog and it is the first one I visit every time I sign on. If I where to win I would definitely put them to good use. Hope you feel well soon.

this is my first time here and always so excited to meet a fellow Aussie ;) I too have the same problem, how do you get rid of things that are just so hard to part with? my heart aches for you haha. Thank you a million times over for the chance to win this delicious stash

Hello. I am one of those "silent" followers/readers. I am in love with all the beautiful dresses you create and I find your blog very inspirational. In fact, so inspirational that I have started a little collection of some vintage sheets that I want to make perhaps a quilt or maybe some patchwork curtains. Hope you are feeling better soon and get rid of that nasty cold. I would love to enter your giveaway.

I just stumbled across your blog and I love, love, love it! absolutely gorgeous and right up my alley! I would love some of you beautiful material but I'm guessing New Zealand is a bit far to send it! looking forward to watching your blog. Hope you feel better soon! (me my husband & two girls were all sick at the same time, it sucks!)

I'm not sure if this has gone through already - am having issues!Uh Oh the fabric addict in me is making me type this... I want it! (Shamefully bad mannered I know). You're being very brave parting with some of your stash, your cold hasn't made you delirious has it?Get better soonJo :)http://thestripeddeckchair.blogspot.com

Oh, I always have total stash envy whenever I see photos of your fabric - please pretty please send some my way!And thanks VERY much for fixing it so I can finally comment now, and stop having a cry in the corner :)lewisclaire2011@yahoo.com.au

Hope you feel heaps better soon Bec!I'm a silent stalker, come out of the closet for this giveaway... I don't own a NS dress yet, but have a plan in motion to change that very soon. One of the reasons I love your dresses (not that you asked, but since I'm on here I'm going to tell you anyway!), is because the fabric reminds me of my childhood sheets! One of the fabrics you posted recently I swear I slept on as a child! I even asked my mum what she did with them...she couldn't remember... Another reason is because your dresses are gracious and flattering to women's bodies. My baby is 9 months old and my body will never be the same again (a truth I am slowly coming to terms with) and so I can't fit into the normal styles I could before having her. So it's just nice to have someone making clothes that not only flatter battle-scarred bodies like mine, but make them look BEAUTIFUL! Keep going!Sarah xgrahamandsarah@ymail.com
